I gambled on your love, baby, and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love, baby, yes it got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand

While I was playing fair, baby, you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair, baby, you played a cheating game
I know you didn't care, but I love you just the same

I thought I'd be your king, baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I'd be your king, baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought your deal was clean

The way you did me, pretty baby, I declare I'll never understand
The way you did me, pretty baby, I declare I'll never understand
I gambled on your love, baby, hey, hey, hey, I got a losing hand
